eBay's New Smartphone Trade-in Service Offers Instant and Interesting Payouts
eBay's new Instant Selling program for smartphones allow users to list their old phone on the platform and immediately receive an eBay voucher in return and offers higher return rates than Gazelle, EcoATM, AT&T Trade-in, Apple Give Back, and Verizon Trade-in.
The new program allows consumers to sell their devices and get paid instantly with an eBay voucher, without having to manage the selling process. The entire process takes only a matter of minutes, from start to payment.
"With Instant Selling, people can find out exactly how much their phone is worth, and sell their phone within a matter of minutes to immediately help fund the holidays, or maybe something off their personal wish list," said Alyssa Steele, Vice President of Hard Goods, eBay.
